They guide you through preparing a folio, making first contact with publishers, designing publicity etc and give you an idea of what to expect from the meetings and how to follow-up.<br /><br />Good luck!Lynne the Pencilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18204943065923019653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052428857190834923.post-11060998355762633902011-09-24T09:26:08.520+01:002011-09-24T09:26:08.520+01:00Hi Lynne,
I love your blog and especially your wor...Hi Lynne,<br />I love your blog and especially your work. Your characters are fantastic!!!...so colourful, fun, engaging and full of life! Seeing the development of "Baby Can Bounce" has been marvelous and very inspirational.<br /><br />I must thank you, your blog and films on your website are so informative and have been teaching me alot about the process an illustrator goes through to publish a book and about the workings of the industry it's self.<br /><br />I studied pre-foundation & display design many years ago at art college but had always wanted to go into illustration but had thought my work was not good enough. Having injured my back after spending many years in retail interior design whilst selling portraits and caricatures on the side i decided to try to re-train. <br /> <br />Last year i completed a home study course in illustration (Unfortually i could not afford to go back to art college to study fulltime). I have spent this last year working on my portfolio. I still have my website, marketing and a some dummy books i'd like to put together from my own storyline idea's before i am ready to approach either an agent or publishers. <br /><br />Please may i ask is there any advice you would give an aspiring illustrator that you wish you'd know when you first started out?<br /><br />Kind regards<br />Jac Holmes<br /><br />P.S Apologises if my display name comes up as "Rat" it's my family nickname which my brother set up and i haven't yet figured out how to change the setting for it.Jachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09550104078281738897noreply@blogger.com
